Toilet & ceramic chip repair in Balgowan, Dundee
Our technicians come to Balgowan for chip and break repairs to toilets, cisterns and other ceramics. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Balgowan
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair porcelain, toilet pans and vitreous china, and people most frequently call us about chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Common questions in Balgowan
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Balgowan. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why Balgowan customers choose us
- A fixed quote before booking
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Balgowan. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- Details of any past repairs
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Landlord and trade work in Balgowan
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Preparing for the visit
